coobh>s p?rohed tongue, and seating, myself
beside him, I inquired into his condition.
'^Will you bathe my head, as my mother used
to. dp," said ho, "and thou talk to Ui??it is so
long siucel have hoard a sweet, low voice.Tike
yours."
TakiVig out my cologne, 1 did as be bade
mo, talking in an encouraging, hopeful manner
meanwhile, until by.degrees ho revived a. lit-'
^e^dtididld' mo his history. |H
"I' am a Virginian," said he, and his wan
cheek flushed with prldo; "my homo is on -the
banks of thof Shcnahdodh, ?bd I was one of
the.' first to answer 'the'bugle' note whon our

Jackson was my hero;; for him ' I would have
scaled any hoight, undergouo 1 any hardship,
and Binco his death I have acarcely cared to
live, have by the faithful performance of my
duty tP assist in winning fresh laurels for tho
brigade he loved so well." .Ho then went on
to tell mo he had been taken prisoner six
months boforo, und, accustomed to an open
air, the confinement of a prison had under
mined bis health, and the home sickness and
Aaapulx- ?1"^u)iopTru^iVrTc^"-preye^
.until a slow1 fever ensued, wliich wasi then
draining tho strength from his youthful veins.
Of course all this was not told at once, but at
intervals, Klanswer tomy questions, Finally,;
fearing the excitement would prove injurious,
I enjoined quiet and rest, bidding him good
byej with the promise to return the next day.
For a-week, at the same time oycry morning'
ivattonded my "Virginia boy," and myen
traucc was tho signal for a brightening of tho
sad, hopeless oyes. Sitting by his side, with
his thin hand clasped in mine,.he would relate
many littlo incidents.of his campaigns with
Jackson, always dwelling on . the famous ex
ploits of his adored commander, or else ppur.
fourth a tide of recollections of the mountain
home, of the dear old father and mother whose
pride ho was, tho fair haired sister who so
fondly awaited his return?his horse and a
dog, and a thousand minor details .of the sweet
hqme life'so dearly treasured in his heart. But
I shuddered to mark how fast his life was ebb
ing away, and wept at the* thought of tho sor
row that would fall ..with: a crushing weight
upon that absent household.
? Upon(tho sevcuth day I was shocked by the
distressing chauge which had taken place in
his 'appoardh'ce', that peculiar fpallor . and con
traption of .features always.the hondd of death
having settled upon his countenance. No glad
smiles greeted me as I approached his cot, but
i nly a faint pressure of thei'hand as 1 bent
joycr him. "Will you not taste this cooling
drink I have prepared fort you ?" * I said..
Bfc- ."No, dear laJy," replied ho in a faint voice,
and then, continued, ..painfully laboring^for
breath, "Savo it/or s,omo,ono else ? I am dying.

, j A correspondent of the Macon Journal ami
fllettcnycr giv^a ?,th oj?aubjoincjt? ac^puut of a
Speech dolivercd by a colored man,1 at a Dem
ocratic bnrbecue, in Vulaski Couuty, a few
dny8:agd:--v :' leXtlu&ti s?dV<)
Nextf'followed d> colored man by the name
of, Sherman,: who gave, in a conversational, )
stylo, a most interesting jhistory of his trip to
and hia. stay, iu, Liberia. ? Ho 'was'not at'all
complimentary t?' the ngo'nts of the'GeloulKi
tion Society, on aocount of tho meagre supply
of provisions .on 'the Tbybgc. He suyB they
wore compelled to flubsbt for days.qn rations
consisting pf single ; cracker .ai\d, a pin^ of
water j but when they reached their destination,
on accouut of tho inany.dcaths occurring in
their party ^ their rations wore ' increased to
c crackers per day.' 'Hb said he was told
by. the. ColonizatioQ Society ' that, when ho
reached Liberia, he would .find a species Of
fruit known as tho bread fruit, growing in
groat abundance on tho trees?all ol which ho
found to be true, but neither ho nor any of
hia party-could eat it. Ho says the natives
live on snakes, frogs, llaards, or any sort of
animals they' can capture' and slay, but they
prefer animals that have died, and are in a
?putrid' state.
He said he determined to leave as eobta as
ho eould provide ; himself with money to pay
his passage to. .New York, which, ho so?u
obtained, and took ship for Now York, where j
ho felt j confidant of meeting many friends.
After arriving in the city, he made application',
to feme men on the wdiarf for work, was told
thoy did not employ negroes, and driven away;
hp mndo several other applications on the
wharf, meeting in every instance unkind re
pulses. Ho then made application at two car
penter shops, from, which he hardly escaped
with his scalp. .He returned to'the wharf in
despair, when he fortunately found a gcutle
ninn from Savannah, und after having to work
for .his fopd until lie could get'.a situatiou, ho
proposed to work for him in tho same wayj he
gave him his food, and aftcrwads paid the full
price of his labor, which enabled him to reach
Savannah, whero he Otpt with Southern friends,|
who furnished hlut, means to reach his old
ln ine, where he hopes to iivo and die, for he j
says tho black man hiuf ho'friends only iu the 1
South. Ho ndviscd the black man to be peace
able and industrious, and be governed by the
advice of. the peoplo in this country. , That I
slavery at the South, in its worst form, bj
better for the black mau than freedom at the
North.
